hey playitleo..in all fairness to Corzine, which I am no means a fan of...no governor in NJ( including Kean and Christie )or in most of the northern states were willing to pull the trigger on the death penalty when it was re-enacted. Unfortunately, the death has not served a deterrent to murder at all. Texas has a higher murder rate per 100,000 than NJ or most "non capital punishment" states. Lousiana even worse...people will just kill and not really think about consequences until afterward..thats seems to be the case in the society we live in now...I actually knew this kid years ago when HE was 13, somewhere along the line he felt a gang was a better family than his own..and for that decision..he will spend most of his living days locked with others who felt the gang was a better way..
